On July 9, 2013, the Board of Supervisors adopted a new approach
to Comprehensive Plan review and community engagement called
Fairfax Forward. The effort replaces the Area Plans Review
cycle. In general, the new approach seeks to expand public
participation and stakeholder collaboration in planning activities, allow
for a more systematic, geographically logical review of the Comprehensive
Plan, provide a more focused approach to future planning studies and
emphasize plan monitoring and maintenance.
